Contact lenses and wrestling


Recommended Posts

Do kids today wrestle with their contact lenses in or do they take them out to grapple?  My grandkid is thinking about getting contact lenses and was asking whether he would be able to wear them while wrestling.

 

Many years ago I needed to take mine out to wrestle, but I know modern lenses are much much better than the ones I used when I wrestled.  I know at least some people swim with contact lenses in and so I wondered about wrestling.

I wore them without too much issue.  A few time the contact came out or rolled up in my eye but nothing on a regular basis.  I think most kids wear them today and I haven’t notice to many issue with them as a coach.   I’d say if you are far sighted having them in would be more useful than not.  If you are near sighted you maybe able to get away with not wearing them and then just putting on glasses in between matches.
